Cozy café in Nottingham

“Excellent fast service, and a lovely cooked English breakfast at a great price.”

“I used Rhubarbs to cater for my party. The food was delicious, well presented and great value for money. Sue, Michelle and team went above and beyond in every way! Would highly recommend!”

“The food is so delicious, all made fresh and extremely good prices. it’s so hard to decide what to choose because they’re all so good, i end up getting food for the whole day. The staff are so friendly, the portions are big and good value and it’s probably the best classic non-fancy breakfast in Nottingham”

“Lovely place off the beaten track. The baked potatoes were great and such good value. Nice decaf coffee. Spacious outside seating area but, smaller space inside. Not busy on a cooler day. Service was good and friendly staff.”

“the staff are always friendly, the breakfast sausage sandwich is a saviour, and the lunch choices are good and varied. Homemade cookies are a plus.”

“Called today for oxtail, so hot I had to drive home before I could sample it ha ha, but we'll worth it. Lovely meal, thanks, will call again.”

“I think that this was an exceptional experience. The staff were kind and the cats were all friendly none of them bit anyone and it looked like my son wanted to stay there because there was a little cat who stayed on my son’s arm he was so happy! Everything was nice and the atmosphere was great there was an amazing build on the roof it was a massive obstacle course, there was a long strip of wood and it was very thin and the cats were walking across it. I was straight above it so I could see some cats put their legs on the side of the plank it was spectacular to see how they built everything. On average 25 cats in the building. They serve food and drinks too.”

“Great food at this place, nice thick bacon and tasty sausages which makes a difference making a breakfast, the hang over baps sort you out well too, would recommend”

“Absolutely wonderful place to grab and bite wouldn’t recommend anywhere else tbh plus staff are superb and great to chat with. Will 1000% be visiting again ❤️”

“Took my two dogs here for a coffee date with a friend. The staff member was super friendly and welcoming to the dogs and provided them with treats. Lovely clean Cafe .100% recommended”

“My first visit to this church run coffee room and I am very impressed. Very popular on the day of our visit. Food was home made and delicious.”

“Had a Dental appointment in the neighbourhood and wanted a place to relax and do some work online before heading to work. Ordered the omelette with mushrooms and peppers which was amazing! Nice, quiet space to work as well. Will definitely be back to try what’s on the menu.”

“delicious and fresh sandwiches, the pastries / treats were really delicious !! the waffles are so fresh and warm, literally melts in your mouth :') coffee is very well made too and is my favourite so far !! not bitter but not too sweet either, i love it ! ”

“Called in this morning for a breakfast as we was driving past, friendly staff, nice food and drink, we will definitely be back :) only downside is when it’s busy parking is limited on the street due to the position of the cafe, but worth parking further down the road and and walking up :)”

“We were dropping our son to the University of Nottingham end of September and stumbled upon Compà in Beeston on our first night of arrival. It was our son’s suggestion and we decided to check it out! I am so glad we did! The food was delicious and it was like visiting a family - cosy, warm ambiance and pretty lights inside that made it feel festive and special on a week night. We were pretty tired after flying from US to London, than taking a train to Nottingham the next morning so it was especially nice to sit down and take time to enjoy this place, yummy food while we planned next few days. We stroke a conversation with the owner who turned out to be such a wonderful kind person and it made us feel even more comfortable and welcome. It was a lovely experience and a warm welcome. Would highly recommend! Moments like this make sweet memories and have special place in my heart. Grateful for discovering this restaurant and meeting Angela. Many thanks!”

“Our first visit, recommended by one of my colleague. We stopped for a breakfast. Great location of the tearooms as along the Grantham Canal, perfect stop if you walk or bicycle along the canal. There are plenty seats and table outside where you can enjoy nice views and greedy ducks may keep you company so be careful. If may be busy so make sure there is a table available before ordering. More table available upstairs. Great choice of breakfast and lunch, cold and hot drinks, ice creams and yummi home made cakes, scones and muffins. The staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Our breakfast was served within 10 minutes max. Great coffee! The meals were presented in nice way, good one and the portions were decent. I missed a little bit of flavour in smashed avocado, bacon was OK. The bread, sausages and tomatoes were really good. So the food was correct, I missed a little bit of taste twist. The inside decor is nice, and cosy, very clean. Toiles are located outside. What I really like about the place is the wall pictures by local artists you can buy. I am still giving 5 starts with a credit for delicious-looking cakes I am going to try next time as I will definitely be back.”

“Excellent! I had received recommendations to come here and I'm so pleased I did. They are so very friendly, have great human and dog menu's. I had a toasties for lunch and it came with humour (or colslaw), crisps and a side salad. I was totally stuffed after all that and the food quality was excellent. The coffee is also delicious and strong but smooth. I really highly recommend coming to the Dog and Bear. Bring your doggies too.”

“What can I say other than Kalimera is a little oasis of Greek Cypriot delicacies in Nottingham. Mixing British and Mediterranean foods on the same menu is so clever! My son and I had to try the Greek breakfast, so tasty - I recommend it as an alternative to the traditional English breakfast! The Greek sausages are brilliant! Came back the next morning to collect Galaktoboureko sweet desert- specially made so I could take some back to Wales for my Cypriot family! It was delicious! Picked up some Pastitsio and feta/spinach pie. Nottingham is so lucky to have Kalimera on your doorstep! Perfect food and friendly owners!”

“Used to visit this cafe before Covid went back whilst in the area only to find out it now has new owners. The new owners were really nice and the service was excellent. If you visit during lunch try the new chicken burger meal they’ve added to the menu it’s delicious and reasonably priced.”

“Nice service and great food! Definitely try the sushi and sashimi dinner set (28 pounds including 12 pieces of sashimi, 6 pieces of sushi and 6 pieces of nigiri ( roughly) and dessert!!! Hot sake is also nice to try!”

“Fantastic service and very polite very happy. Great food and great coffee.”

“The perfect local cafe, lovely staff, clean tables, gorgeous food. went in to grab a drink with a classmate to get some work done for university, whilst it was busy part of the duration we were there, it was quiet and we were able to focus on getting our work done and still be able to hear each other despite talking in low voices. quick service despite it being busy, an ideal location to hold a meeting.”

“I often go to either the Sherwood or Trinity Square branch and I am never disappointed, all the way from the excellent service down to the outstanding food, both the variety and flavour are on point, today I had my first take out breakfast due to working from home, and I am even more impressed by the clean and tidy packaging and consistency in terms of quality when taking it home! The lady who completed my order was so kind! Thank you so much, you are all amazing !”

“This café was a delightful find! I stopped in to get some work done and was pleasantly surprised by how reliable and fast the WiFi was – perfect for a productive few hours. The food was absolutely delicious – it had that comforting, home-cooked feel that’s hard to come by in most cafés. Their cappuccino deserves a special mention – rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The ambience is warm and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that makes you want to linger. Though the staff were clearly busy, they were still attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. The only downside was the strong food smell inside, likely because the kitchen is open to the seating area. There is outdoor seating, which would’ve been a great alternative, but unfortunately it was too cold and windy on the day I visited. Overall, despite that small drawback, I’d highly recommend this place – whether you're looking to relax, catch up on work, or just enjoy a fantastic meal and coffee.”

“The food at White Rabbit Tea House is full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with attention to detail. I love the atmosphere – it’s cosy and charming, even though the space is a bit small, it makes it feel welcoming and intimate. Please do visit – it’s such a lovely independent shop and really worth supporting!”

“Nice space to do a bit of work and eat a big breakfast”

“One of my favourite local sit in cafes for a cooked breakfast, staff friendly, place is very clean , and the food is always red hot (served on a hot plate) good broad selection of food and drinks, just remember to bring cash as they are a cash only restaurant:)”

“The ladies on service today went above and beyond for me. I had a wisdom tooth out and wanted a coffee. I asked for a straw as I was still numb - they obliged without hesitation and even made my coffee a little cooler so I wouldn't burn myself. Made my day after feeling weird asking for a straw for a hot coffee!”
